Crude oil prices have been getting crushed over the past few months. The decline in oil makes the stock market’s run look pretty good, with crude falling almost 35% from peak to trough after coming into October near its highs. Some view rising oil prices as a negative burden, something that weighs on consumers and hurts their purchasing power.

The recent nosedive in crude oil prices came just as shale producers had started delivering healthy returns after years of heavy spending to boost production and market share. The 29 percent drop in U.S. crude oil prices (CLc1) since October now threatens those improved margins, and sustained prices below $50 per barrel could dent the value of shale reserves, which banks use to determine borrowing power. The dynamic leaves shale producers hoping for a rescue in the form of production cuts from The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) when it meets on Thursday - and at odds with U.S. President Donald Trump, who has pushed OPEC to keep the taps wide open.

Devon Energy (DVN) isn’t expected to report a positive FCF (free cash flow) in the fourth quarter. Devon Energy’s management expects an excess cash inflow of $5 billion by the end of 2018 assuming WTI at $65 per barrel, natural gas prices at $3 per MMBtu, and current WCS (Western Canada Select) strip pricing when it released its third-quarter results.

Devon Energy (DVN) might have an upside of 75.1% in the next 12 months based on analysts’ mean target price. With the current downturn in oil prices and the risk of the WTI-WCS (Western Canada Select) spread, which we discussed in the previous part, such a huge upside isn’t likely. With the recovery in the spread, investors might expect a short-term upside momentum in the stock.
